10 Things Every Bride Should Have Ready Before Getting Into Her Wedding Dress
The calmest wedding mornings have a small getting-dressed kit ready to hand. After 15 years of photographing bridal preparations, these are the ten things we see save the day.
Beth & Alex – Vibrant Ashridge House Wedding
Beth and Alex’s Ashridge House wedding was led by colour: relaxed florals from Philo Flowers, a mix of bridesmaids’ dresses to match, live music and energy from start to finish.
Amy & Tom – Ashridge House Wedding
Tom and Amy’s June wedding at Ashridge House: warm sunshine, full florals, elegant styling and evening fireworks at one of Hertfordshire’s most impressive venues. Photographed and filmed by byLumiere.
Sonam & Veeral – Ashridge House Hindu Wedding
Sonam and Veeral’s Hindu wedding at Ashridge House: a Baraat led by Dhol drummers, an outdoor Mandap ceremony, the Aeki Beki ring game, Joota Chupai and an emotional Vidaai.
Blenheim Palace Weddings Preferred Supplier
We have photographed and filmed many weddings at Blenheim Palace, from candlelit dinners in the Orangery to golden-hour portraits by the lake, and know every corner of it.
Anna & Peter – Ashridge House
Three wedding dresses, a helicopter, a horse and carriage, a chapel blessing, a Persian ceremony with a knife dance, and fireworks to finish: Anna and Peter’s Ashridge House wedding.
Zoe & Marcus – Ashridge House
Zoe and Marcus wanted Ashridge House without the formality, so their Greek wedding ceremony took place in the Fernery, with Cypriot traditions, beautiful florals and live music through the day.
Love is Love – Always
Yes, we photograph and film same-sex weddings, and love every minute of it. A short note to reassure every couple that they are welcome with us.
Choosing your byLumiere Team: What’s the Difference?
Couples often ask how our two teams compare and why Kate and Brent cost more to lead the day. The answer is experience, and a restaurant analogy explains it.
Why Luxury Wedding Photography and Videography Costs What It Does
An enquiry with a £900 budget for photography and film at Ashridge House prompted this post. Here is what actually goes into a luxury wedding day, from planning to editing.
Shera & Simon – Ashridge House
Simon is from the UK, Shera works in events in the States, and they wanted a quintessentially English wedding: a first look, a marquee on the South Terrace and fireworks.
Benefits of a Single Wedding Photography & Videography Team
Kate, Brent, Elizabeth and Mark are all hybrid shooters, at home with both photography and film. Why one team for both gives a smoother day and a consistent style.
Emma & Adam – Ashridge
Emma and Adam’s Jewish wedding at Ashridge House in late October, with the chuppah in front of the Great Hall fireplace, a very emotional father and daughter dance, and fireworks.
Ashridge House Weddings Preferred Supplier
On Ashridge House’s preferred supplier list since 2017, we have photographed and filmed more weddings here than anywhere else, with a CAA drone licence for aerial coverage.
Roman Baths Preferred Supplier
The Roman Baths are a rare venue and not an easy one to photograph well. As a preferred supplier we have covered ceremonies, elopements and proposals there.
Oxford & The Bodleian Weddings
Oxford is a city we know well (Mark did his DPhil at Trinity) and we are a preferred supplier at the Old Bodleian Library, with the college chapels close by.
Royal Palaces Preferred Supplier
We are preferred suppliers at the Historic Royal Palaces: Hampton Court, Kensington Palace, Banqueting House, Kew Palace and the Tower of London. Grand buildings that take care to photograph well.
Amy & Ed – Ashridge
Amy and Ed’s November civil and Jewish wedding at Ashridge House, with a first look in the Loggia before the light went, Jewish dancing and fireworks to finish.
Anjali & Mehul – Ashridge
Anjali and Mehul’s high-energy October wedding at Ashridge House. Our favourite moment: their entrance to the evening, led down the Great Hall staircase by a saxophonist, then the fireworks.
Anna & Arnie – Ashridge
Anna and Arnie’s elegant Ashridge House wedding: exquisite details, beautiful styling and plenty of belly laughs, with the house and gardens as the backdrop all day.
Kiran & Gianni – Syon Park
Kiran and Gianni’s Italian and Indian wedding at Syon Park: a Great Hall ceremony, drinks in the Inner Courtyard, dinner in the Great Conservatory, and the Indian rituals beforehand.
Mary & Jack – Powerscourt Hotel
Mary and Jack married in Our Lady of the Wayside, the blue church where Jack’s parents also married, then celebrated at Powerscourt House Hotel. Powerscourt was made for the drone.
Rosanna & Alex – Cliveden
Rosanna had always wanted Cliveden. A cancellation six weeks out made it happen, and she pulled together an intimate wedding, married on the terrace despite the wind.
What does a Wedding Film offer that Photography doesn’t?
Many couples are unsure whether a wedding film is worth it. Film keeps the sound, movement and emotion of the day in a way photographs alone cannot.
Rosie & Andrew – Badminton House
Rosie and Andrew wanted a relaxed, happy wedding and got one: a church ceremony at St Mary’s in West Kington, a vintage Bentley, then the Orangery at Badminton House.
Destination Wedding Photography
We have photographed weddings in Italy, Spain, the Seychelles, Belgium, Sicily and Russia, and married in Dubrovnik ourselves. What to consider before you book a photographer abroad.
